Cubby's Cubmaster Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Our pack's Blue Gold is March 19th. Our pack has done the same ceremony for the last 5+ years. I'm looking for some new ideas. Please post your recommendations for the best AOL and Crossover ceremonies. Kind regards, Cubby's Cubmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNBob Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 We just did this one (http://www.usscouts.org/ceremony/aol.asp) on Sunday. It went over pretty well. Have a link to the one you've been using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubby's Cubmaster Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hi, MNBob. Our pack's ceremony isn't posted online. We don't have a heavy Native American theme to ours. We recognize the boys and give our the AOL patch and Arrow/Plaques. Of note, this year we changed our BG Banquet to a BG Celebration. We charge nothing for it. We dispensed with the dinner and are having desserts. At the beginning of the year, we got DL buy-in to have scouts advance at the BG and not at monthly pack meetings. Thus we are at 92% of the pack getting their advancement for the March BG. We also moved the BG from Feb to Mar so that it would give more time to finish. This worked out well. I expect the pack will continue it next year. I've just about finalized our BG ceremony with our CM for this Friday. I was hoping to get more ideas to share. Please pass along good ideas to share for future BGs. Regards, Cubby's Cubmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
